Hello hello!
Wow we have just 2 more posts to the end of this series! As promised, the last 2 posts will be sample workouts for you to try 
Recently, I have started doing circuit training in the gym because firstly, it incorporates cardio into my workout and secondly, is very time-efficient. It still accomplishes its purpose of getting the heart rate up, aka healthy heart, AND on top of that, burns calories.
When it comes to circuit training, you can be creative and play around with the training a little. For example, instead of doing an exercise for x number of reps, you can do it for 30 seconds. You can also follow that exercise with a cardio-based exercise like jumping jacks/burpees. So.. here is my version of a circuit training for the legs.
P.S, Photos used are combined from previous posts!
Warm up
How this warm up goes:
- Do exercise 1 for 30 seconds, rest 15 seconds.
- Then do exercise 2 for 30 seconds, rest 15 seconds.
- Do the same for exercise 3 & 4
- Complete 3 sets of this warmup set and you’re good to go!
1. Bodyweight squats
2. Lunges
3. Squat jumps
4. Air skipping
Workout
Again, remember to choose a weight that is suitable for you to get through 8-12 reps!
1. Goblet squats to calf raises
First, get down into a goblet squat.
On your way up, go up into a calf raise.
Reps: 15
Sets: 3-4
2. Walking lunges to high knee run
Here’s how a walking lunge looks like. Do 10 walking lunges per leg (aka 20 steps), and then finish up that set with 20 high knee runs. Repeat for 3-4 sets, however much you can handle
3. Calf presses to air skipping
Talk about death of the calves. Do 20 calf presses, followed by 50 airskipping. That’s 1 set. Repeat for 3-4 sets.
4. Glute bridge pulse to donkey kicks
Do 20 reps of this:
Followed by another 20 reps of this:
Your butt should burn. Like really burn. Repeat for 3-4 sets.
AND THAT’S ALL! You should be in a puddle of pespiration by now if you pushed yourself hard enough. On to the stretching!
Stretching
You’ve worked much of your calves, gluten and quads today, so let’s stretch them out!
Calf stretch
Glute stretch
Quad stretch
Hold each stretch for 30 seconds x 2 sets on each leg.
WELL DONE! Give yourself a tap on your shoulder, nurse some muscle aches and wait for the next circuit workout. Catch you real soon!
